I am one of the first people in the
Iranian pro-democracy movement, to have given a benefit of doubt to Reza Pahlavi
and the Iranian monarchists, even being a victim of Shah's Savak in the past, and on
May 11, 2002, I wrote In Defense of Prince Reza Pahlavi supporting RP's call for
human rights in Iran, as a genuine call by him. And on April 19, 2003, I
even wrote in
Prince Reza Pahlavi Needs to Call for A Constitution Conference,
that if RP *abdicates*, he could call for future constitution conference of
Iran.

Since then I observed that RP had no
intention of *abdicating*, and he wanted to continue to play the dual role of
future king and private citizen, and I wrote that after July 9th last year, when
the main parts of pro-democracy movement asked him to take one of the two roles,
and he evaded the issue, he basically lost the second role, and was reduced to a
force like the French Royalists, who still work for restoration of monarchy
after 200 years. Of course, he has every right to do so, and since, I ignored talking about RP, and only from time to time, I noted the abuses of some
of his followers, and just thought of him to be naive, for continuing the dual
role, and thought of harassments by some monarchists on his part, as loose
cannons, and I wrote
on several occasions in open articles, to inform him about these harassments
that were done in his name. And I summed up my analysis of Iranian
monarchy in Myth of Democratic Monarchy for Iran.

In the last couple of months, I have become convinced that none of the
actions of RP supporters are uninformed actions of loose cannons, and that Reza
Pahlavi and Iranian monarchists have a clear plan to kill the Iranian
pro-democracy movement, and to come to power in Iran by using the United States
and part of the clergy. Their plan is *officially* RP to call for "Today only
Unity" and non-interference of U.S. in Iran, and *unofficially* monarchist mafia to try to
discredit independent leaders of pro-democracy movement and try to get U.S. to
invade Iran.

Basically the monarchists are
grateful to the Islamic Republic of Iran (IRI) for having wiped out the leftist
forces in 1981 and 1988 massacres. As I have explained in other articles,
the progressive movement of Iran in the past, has been basically the left, and
wiping out the left, meant wiping out the people's democratic movement, and
monarchists use and have used the same anti-Communist hysteria to wipe out the
democratic people's movement, during the Shah as IRI has done and they still do
even when in opposition.

The monarchists are now busy
to attack all the forces and personalities of the people's movement abroad by
reviving the anti-Communist bigotry of Shah's time. I am a critic of
Communism because I
oppose state economy and the dictatorship of Communist states, but I condemn inquisition of Communists because of their ideology being atheist,
which is the crux the anti-Communist bigotry of Shah's time, IRI, and the monarchists
today.That was when Sha'boon Bimokh (notorious thug of
Shah's time now living in L.A.), in his interview has admitted that he supported
mollah Falsafi in the mosque, when Falsafi would say "Commu" means *God* and "nist"
means *is not*, thus saying Communist means *there is no God* and this way to
instigate the masses against the left.

Also among the forces remaining
from Iranian people's movement, monarchists see mojAhedin as a real powerful
force and they were hoping to wipe them out through the U.S. invasion of Iraq,
and thus become so-called unchallengeable.
I am a critic of
mojAhedin because I call for democratization of their organization, and
even if forgetting their working with Saddam during Iran-Iraq War, I expect them
to end all attacks on Iranian pro-democracy forces and personalities. But I consider the
people who have joined mojAhedin during Shah's time or during IRI to be honest
people, who cared for democracy and freedom in Iran, and many of them were wiped
out by IRI in the last 25 years, and I hope that either mojAhdein democratizes or when these people leave mojAhdein, they form their own
democratic groups and not join IRI or the U.S. covert forces.

But the efforts of monarchists
is not limited to to discrediting the above forces. For example, every time someone
like Shiring Ebadi gets the attention of world community as a leading figure,
Reza Pahlavi and the monarchists on one side *officially* support her, but *unofficially* using their
channels like Azadi TV, try to degrade her in the eyes of Iranians and the
world. Again I have written my opinion about Shirin Ebadi
and why
Islamic Democracy
is *not* Pluralism, but here my point is about the insincere approach of the
monarchists.

Essentially
Iranian monarchists, on one hand, talk like Reza Pahlavi, when he *officially*
says "Today only Unity", but on the other hand, *unofficially*, they work hard to wipe out the
secular Iranian movement. They think the mellizmazhabis are not a threat
to their power in the future and try to neutralize them while closely working
with some top mollahs like Hassan Khomeini promising them share of future power.
They try to wipe out the Iranian pro-democracy movement, using mollahs and IRI,
the same way Shah left the mosque open hoping the mollahs would
discredit secular leaders and would kill the secular movement in Iran..
And also anti-Communist bigotry of their channels like Azadi TV which is paid by
the U.S. money, when the ones they call Communists are not even leftists and
they know it, and why they do this, is because they want to kill the secular
movement of Iran and try to badmouth its
leaders.

Recently the
monarchists in action are attacking the nationalists like Jebhe Melli by the
same anti-Communist slogans, hoping that part of the anti-left nationalists will
join the rank of the monarchists, and the rest they hope to isolate. They
are doing all these attacks on pro-democracy movement Azadi TV and on various
political forums when targeting Iranian independent secular forces calling them
Communists, etc.

Monarchists are dreaming what Khomeini did to continue, and to finish off the
rest of the independent secular pro-democracy opposition, by the mollahs, IRI,
or the U.S. The Iranian people have no trust in the monarchists and after
the experience of Khomeini, Iranians are aware not to trust Shah and Sheikh for
our future. The double game of monarchists who on one side talk of "Today
only Unity" but on the other hand are attacking Iranian opposition, with
anti-Communist bigotry, on Azadi TV and elsewhere, only proves to Iranians not
to even give a benefit of doubt to the monarchists when they talk of human
rights.

Reza Pahlavi
has been working with Khomeini's grandson hoping that a section of Iranian
clergy will reinstate the monarchy and that the monarchy will pay them back for
their "good" work of killing off the Iranian democratic opposition, which they
call leftist, or kharAbkAr.

The reality
is that all IRI has done, is not paving the way for monarchy to come back to
power unchallenged, as they are imagining the reality to be. IRI only
helped the opposition to get out of its doctrinaire ideologies, and understand
its own shortcomings in areas of democracy and progress, and work for
all-encompassing democracy and a future-oriented program. Moreover Iranian
pro-democracy movement has grown in both numbers and political maturity.

Iranian people trust the pro-democracy independent people's movements, and
not the monarchists, who want to get back to power, to loot Iran more, hoping a
nonresistance, thinking their enemies were killed off by IRI. That is a
dream or a nightmare.

Even countries like
Saudi Arabia, that are supported by the U.S., in its old heritage of Cold War
years, are on the verge of collapse, and U.S. will not add another Shah's regime
to these unstable states, even with all the repetition of support of Iranian for
the U.S., which is true but does not mean support of monarchy, but is its
reverse. The future of Middle East is democracy and secularism and forces
like Iranian monarchy are history. Those among the monarchists who are democrats,
and only read and publish the pro-democracy activists who support monarchists,
and who are not part of the monarchist plan to wipe out Iranian pro-democracy
movement, may want to see that the monarchy is trying to use all of them and
their colleagues, to come
back to powers, when mollahs, mellimazhabis, and IRI pave the way, on the tombs of
Iranian pro-democracy opposition, for the wishful ascendance of Pahlavis with the U.S.
help.

It is
important to note that Iranian pro-democracy movement is *not* anti-American and
from Jebhe nationalists to leftists to futurists, we support *open* and
nonbinding dialogue with the U.S. and the rest of the world, when such talks are
open and that do not compromise our independence.

Monarchists
try to show Iranian pro-democracy forces as anti-American to use the U.S. to
invade Iran to come to power. After the Iraq experience, the U.S. is
seeing that the best solution for change in the Middle East is by the democratic
people's forces inside Middle Easter countries and not by some group like
monarchists, that are hungry to get back their privileges, trying to use U.S.
army to get back to the throne.

Hoping for a Futurist,
Federal, Democratic, and Secular Republic in Iran,
